"How- lonely it is! oh, how lonely it is!" The exclamation broke almost uncon sciously from Ethel Raynor's lips as she stood al ihe hotel window, looking down at ihe crystal beauty of Lake George, fla?hinr back the morning- sunshine and urrounded by purple peaks, as a dia mond of the ' purest water gleams out from a setting of (Mm amethysts I- 'In all her 'two seasons' of New York- society. Ethel had seen nothing so beautiful as thlS. ; Mrs. Ward lifted her head from the enormous trunk she was busied in inves tigating, 'with an absent, puzzled sort of lookv . "What did you say Ethel? oh, yes, .i very pretty. Arc you going to wear tne white dress to-day, my dear, or the blue grenadine with the silver trimming?' 'What difference can it possibly make aun'y ?'? .said Ethel.' almost petulamly. It was not pleasant to have the solemn epic of the beautiful lake disturbed by the petty question of dres utid display. Mrs Ward roe solemnly to her feel. E hel, I'm asioni?hed at you! If I didn't know that you are too sensible girl to give way to any such; absurdities, 1 thould say that you were in lave ?'' The fciuldr'n scarltt mantled on Ethel face. She moved away from the window into the shadow of ihe friendly curtain. ."Auniy, I'm going oux for .a,,. little while." Going out ?" "To row on'the lake. I am stifling in this fevered atmosphere !" Ten minutes afterward Ethel in com pany with a fairy-like little companion Cora Steele was gliding over the glassy tides of the beautiful lake in a tiny row boat urged along by the motion of their own resolute arms. "Isn't this glorious V1 said Cora, breaking imcra peal of gleeful laughter. "Oh, EiheVn't ; it better thari sitiing up in state in the hotel parlors ?" "Belter," repeated Ethel, musingly "Cora. I 'sometimes wish I 'could live up among yonder mountains, with only the trees and the rocks and tha grand soli tude for my neighbors; or else thai I was dead and buried under these peaceful tides!" Cora laid down her oars - arid .leaned back, so that her eyes were gazing di "rectly into Ethel's own, ; ' v .'... J Ethel,", she said, "do you know that you-are greatly changed :since 1 met you here last snmmer ?" - ' "I know-it;" ' y ' lH .; -: ' TJ Cola could feel "a 'crystal drop .among ner bright tresses a drop that was not the silvery spray, of the oars, nor yet cool dew from the over-hanging woods under which ihey floated along. "You ore not happy, Ethel !" she whis pered. , ,; ' -- ; .."No, I am" not, and never shall be happy. -. Don't let us talk about it any more, Cora." 'l ' "But I xtzzi to talk about it, Ethel," said Cora, wistfully. "Dearest Ethel," tell me why you are unhappy." "Because I have been a fool," said Ethel, recklessly, as she drew her fin gers through the rippling water, appar ently engrossed in watching the diamond sparkles "because I have played with the noblest heart that ever throbbed, and cast it from me. JYow do you wonder that I am miserable ?' : Cora was silent a few moments. Her sweet,1 ingenious nature could scarce' com prehend the full extent of her friend's trials. "You mean Ruthyn Gray?" she said, at length. -.. : . "Yes, I mean Ruthyn Gray." Ethel, surely you never could have trifled with AiV,." 1: could, and I did ;" I think I mu:t have, leej cr. infatuated, Cora.. I think there are. times whj:;.we seem rather to be under ihe dominion of evil spirits than acting according tc ou' own natures."- ' "He asked you to marry him and you refused ?" "Yes." "And now that' it is too late, you have discovered tha". you were mistaken in your own feelinns?" "I have discovered that my life d hap piness is blighred by my own act-, Take care Cora, we are drifting too near that island; you had better resume your oars once more." And through all the delicious hours of the August morning, jewelled wiih sunshine, and musical with th&'slow dip of chiming'oars, the two girls floated on now passing through odorous belts of shadow, now skirting fairy islands ; but the subject that lay nearest both their hearts was never even broached again. "What time is it Ethel?" ' "Tour o'clock, and there is a thunder tojm rising among those mountains. Look yonder, toward the west, Cora. We must row faster." "If we rowed with fourteen hands in stead cf four, it would do no good," said wise little Cora, as she eyed the lurid, heavy-piled mass of vapor that was stead ily roiling up above the horizon. "I don't know what we were , drerning of, not 10 have noticed it before. No, we cannot reach home; we had better put into shore somewhere. There ought to be an old ruinous cabin not far from here, with a blasted pine tree hanging over it, and there it' is now. I thought so. Pull. Ethel, the, clouds are getting blacker every instant. Do you know I've always longed for a real adventure, atfdl think it i coming now." '," jm'H ' Ethel smiled. Ttie exercise was bring ing a soft carmine glow into her cheeks which became her wonderfully well. "Let us sit here a few minute-?," she said, when the boat was mocied tc.the overhanging trunk of a silver birch-tree "This is such a shady nook, nnd the wa ter is so clear, and the coming storm makes the air deliciossly cool." we have local prejudices to contend with no special locality or party to build up or break down. We shall aim to be im partial in our criticisms of public men measure, and discriminating as to the matter admitted in our columns. We shall advocate such a public policy as we believe to be just. and. riijht one, the benefits and provisions of which shall be impartially extended to all, and one whose restrictions Are unlimited by race or color. Cora nestled down on ihe velvet grass beside her companion, without a word, leaning bac!r tgainst an almost perpen dicular lock which . ran straight up for about six feet, and then shelved back ward, forming a flat surface, covered with tangled bushes, fragrant ferns and trailing draperies of vine leaves. .."Ethel," said Cora, suddenly layiDg her cheek upon her companion's shoul der, ' do you lovje Ruthyn Gray ?" Yes." .. . . "And do you think he ftiil loves you?" "I think his -nature hone that once having formed an attachment, would be slow to relinquish it," said Ethel, softly and dreamily. "Then why on earth don't you . write tbTiim Ethel?" "" "Write tojumrf. "wt. ."Yes, and' tell'him that you have been a goose, and that you re heartily ashamed cf yourself, and don't mean ever to doit any more. Why don't you, Ethel " "Never!" The scarlet tides rose to Ethel's !air temples, like a torrent she hid her. face in her slender hands. "Never, Cora, never.". "Love is a curious kind of an epidem ic,' said the blue eyed little philosopher, thoughtfully tossing bits of grass down into the water. "And I for one can't understand its symptoms. ..When a word would set all right between, you " "That; '--ord will never be spoken," said Ethel, 4i?ing with calm dignity. Come, Cera, it will rain very soon." . But Cora's only ansvvei was a wild cry of terrcr. "The boat ! the boat! Etel, it has loosed its moorings ! It' is floating off. E'.hel stood transfixed with alarm. The little barque bad indeed played them false, and was slowly receding farther and farther from the shore, leaving thfm almost as desolate and htlpless as Juan Fernandez on his desert shore. "Oh, what shall we do ? what shall we do?" exclaimed Cora, clasping her hf.nds wildly together. But the words had , scarcely left her lips when there v as a slfjLt r-stls aaong the fern3 and bushes overhead a "part ing cf ihe silver birches that grew be side them, and the next instant' a tali figure, robed in picturesque hunting cos t'ume.'plunged into the lake, and striking boldly1 out1 through " the 'clear waters, caught the floating rope and drew the light boat ashore. What a welcome sound was the grating :of tha tiny keel on the sand and pebbles to Cora's strain- Ethel came forward to thank the tall annarition who stood drirtDinfjr amon!? the trees; but as his eyes met hers, the words died upon ner tongue into a iami, voiceless murmur. Cora uttered a little hysteric cry. ' "Ethel! it is Ruthyn Gray!" It was Ruthyn Gray ; but there was a brightness on his brow, a strange m 0K scrurable light in his eya, that neithar of the girls had ever witnessed there before. He advanced a steportwo, and took Ethel's baud in both of his: , "Ethel, I had no' intention of eaves- dropping, but I could not avoid hearing the voices that aroused me from my slumbers among the bushes and sweet ferns overhead. I had been hunting all the morning, and was tired and wearied out, nnd ' "What did you hear ?" murmured V t l r' 1- - ' A - ' r l.l.,,I rjtnei, reeling as u wri) u'uuu in" her being was concentrated in her cheeks hd forehead. "Enough to make me the happiest mortal in existance. v There don't bluh, dailing ; it has been a long enig ma. but it is solved at last. Do you hear the big drops paltering down among the leaves? Come, Cora, we must take shelter in the ruined cabin that has been mv huniimz tiuarters for the last two weeks." " ou have been here for two weeks ?" "Yes---just the length of time you have spent at the lake. Do you wonder at my knowledge of your movements ? Ethel, my heart has followed you faith fully since last we parted, and I was content to be near you even though you were unconscious of it." Half an hour nfterwards, when Lake George uas all a sparkle in the sunshine once more, and every bush and tree that lined the shores was glittering with bri ht swiuiirr drops, the little boat again pushed oflf from the strand and thi3 time there Aere three passengers. Ruthyn Gray sat at ihe helm, as hand some as a Pawnee warrior, in his hunt- in'7 costume, and the dark hair pushed away from his sunburned forehead. And in all ihe beautiful experiences of her after life, Ethel held most dear and precious that summer day upon the beautiful banks of Lake George, the fairest jewel in al the Nojthern diadem of waters ! : "A writer in Blackwood says ; ''When people want to speak of a native of Hol land, ihey call him an Amsterdam Duch man ; but when they speak of one of the German race generally, they leave out the Amster.
